Barum Czech Rally Zlín 2018

World championship driver Dani Sordo hasn't even won one single stage in this rally, but he doesn't care - "It was a really nice event. I am happy to be here, it was an incredible rally but I enjoyed it, really nice atmosphere. Honestly, I don´t care about the position, other guys were really fast, I came here and didn´t know what to expect."

Jakes wins the last stage and moves to the 4th position. How come he was so fast? Are Hankook tyres so good?

That's one of the surprises of the weekend for me, how good the Hankooks were in this conditions, also nice rally of Jakes

So Kopecky wins again, not his best drive IMO but he got the job done again.

Good job by Lukyanuk, Jakes and Gryazin too (shame he faded at the end)

Nothing to be ashamed of for Sordo. He didn’t know the event or the car and Kopecky is an excellent tarmac driver, especially at home. Still, I think the fact he didn’t do as well as many expected shows that the level at the top of ERC and the Czech Championship is pretty good.

Bit of a shame about the tricky conditions this weekend, would have been nice to see everyone a bit more flat out.

Nice fights this weekend. Congrats to Kopecky, this year has been perfect for him so far: he won every single event he started (counting 1st places in WRC2 as victories).
I think Lukyanuk made a smart choice, this year he has a great chance for the ERC title, Magalhaes can't match him in speed, so as long as he doesn't throw rallies away...
And shame for Mares, but he showed good stuff.

Another puncture for Cais...

A great battle we'll have for the U28 chamionship for the end of the year, 3 guys in contention + a possible option also for Ahlin if he runs and won the last two events

In U27 it seems that Sesks has it under control, another win in Barum, probably the bigest surprise of the year for me

Hungarian driver Tibor Érdi Jr has won a second consecutive championship title in the ERC2 category, with victory on Barum Rally securing his crown. He scored a fourth ERC2 victory this season and with it the championship title. There are still two events remaining this season, but only the four best results count.

Sun is shining in service... The sun waited for the end of rally!

Does anyone know if Kopeckys run of unbroken national championship wins is a record, or has anyone bettered it?
